Rivers crisis: Ogoni group slams IG, demands resignation

“Peter Fregene is in the hospital and on life support. His situation is critical,” Odegbami revealed in a statement.

“What Peter Fregene needs the most now are our collective prayers that the will of His Creator be done!”

Fregene, who manned the posts for the Super Eagles from 1968 to 1971 and represented Nigeria at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico, has been grappling with health issues for several years.

Odegbami, a former Nigeria skipper, had earlier this week raised the alarm about Fregene’s deteriorating condition, disclosing that the former goalkeeper was hospitalised in Sapele and urgently needed medical attention and financial assistance.

“He is still waiting for help to come in order to be moved by ambulance to the Ohara Teaching Hospital, Ohara, Delta State,” Odegbami had stated on Tuesday.
